·Hello,
I came across the Mitsukoshi mod and feel that it has the best execution of the panda aesthetic (versus the Apollo 11 panda and the Tokyo 2020 panda).
Buying an original Mitsukoshi is out of reach for me, whereas purchasing an Apollo 11 or Tokyo panda feels like a less satisfactory (and more expensive option) than a Modsukoshi. It also seems Mitsukoshi dials will only get rarer over time.
However, I’m pretty new to watches in general and am unsure if it is generally advisable for someone inexperienced to try sourcing for Mitsukoshi dials with the end objective of getting a watchmaker to assemble a mod. I’m conscious that there are risks (eg procuring a dial that has defects/marks or is outright fake - there was another thread here discussing this).
Assuming this is at all an advisable option, also appreciate any views on this Mitsukoshi dial listing and if it is authentic and fairly priced.
Thanks very much in advance. Have really enjoyed some of the other posts on this forum.
